The origins of the firm date back to 1979 when the founder and principal, Robert Sander, began managing portfolios at Kidder Peabody. The organization was incorporated in 1985. We build and manage portfolios consisting primarily of large-cap equity securities for individuals, families and charitable organizations. All of our accounts are individually managed. Our advisory business emphasizes management of large-cap equity securities and money market funds. We do not offer financial planning or asset allocation services. The firm focuses on larger well-established companies with an emphasis on those expected to produce above market growth in both revenues and earnings. An additional consideration is the valuation of the stocks relative to companies in the like industries and with similar growth projects. We can easily tailor individual client needs accordingly. Some clients may want to be more heavily concentrated in energy, local, tech, dividend bearing, or other different sectors. We can buy or sell from the different companies available in the market. With requests from the customer, we can develop a plan around their needs. We just can’t promise there will always be opportunities in every sector. We do not participate in wrap fee programs. On a discretionary basis Sander Capital manages $210 million of client assets as of December 31, 2025. There are no non-discretionary accounts. 4 Item 5 Fees and Compensation The portfolio management fee is based on the fair market value of securities and cash included in the client’s account. The annual fee schedule, payable quarterly in advance, is as follows: 1.50% of portfolio value on the first $2 million 1.0% of portfolio value on the next $3 million .80% of portfolio value on amounts above $5 million Clients can choose to authorize the Custodian to issue to Sander Capital Advisors, from cash proceeds in their account, a check in the amount of each quarterly billing as received or have Sander Capital Advisors bill them directly. These fees are used as a guideline, but can be negotiable. Every three months we bill the account 1/4 of the yearly fee. The fees are charged in advance. The start date depends on when the account is opened. If a client decides to leave the firm we will refund the fee amount as a percentage of the month they leave. In addition to these fees there are broker commissions every time a trade is placed in the account. No one at the firm receives a commission for the sale of securities or mutual funds. 5 Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Sander Capital does not collect performance-based fees or side-by-side management. 6 Item 7 Types of Clients Sander Capital manages money for individuals, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, and can service pension accounts as well. The minimum account size is $200,000. 7 Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Analysis methods used by Sander Capital include; bottom-up fundamentals, technical charting, and cyclical patterns. We subscribe to research journals prepared by others, financial newspapers, corporate rating services as well as look through corporate reports and company press releases. There is the risk of loss with any investment opportunity. We are prudent in our investment strategies to try and minimize any loss, which may occur. We are also diversified to try and spread the risk appropriately through your portfolio. Sander Capital does not try to take undue risk nor does it trade in very high frequency. Our investment process combines both top-down and bottom-up elements and begins with an evaluation of the current economic environment. At this stage, we analyze the global economy to identify the important driving trends. We examine the forces that are moving the economy. Our efforts are not aimed at predicting precise targets for numerous economic statistics. The goal is to develop a position with regard to the broad economic patterns which help us identify the industries that should be emphasized. Next, we examine the macro economic factors impacting various industries to determine the areas of focus. This leads us to a review of the major stocks within the industries we have decided to emphasize. Individual equity decisions are based on a thorough analysis of the specific company's fundamentals. The early stages of our individual company analysis rely on consensus earnings estimates and current valuations. Since we use consensus estimates, it is important that a stock have a broad following and sponsorship in the brokerage community. As a result of this requirement, we tend to limit the analysis to large companies with widespread Wall Street coverage. Within an industry, our first screen is a ranking of companies by their P/E to growth rate ratio. For the purposes of this analysis, we use anticipated consensus growth and calendarized price earnings ratio. This makes the ranking equitable and allows us to limit our research efforts to those companies with the best growth prospects relative to their current prices. The analysis of an individual company begins with a model of the historic revenue and earnings. The model includes an examination of revenue growth, margin patterns, expense growth, capital spending, etc. We not only look at a static picture of a company's fundamentals but also at sequential analyses of the various factors. We evaluate the balance sheet to be certain it is consistent with industry Standards-we prefer companies with clean balance sheets and low debt levels. We also review the company's recent SEC filings. We look at reports from the various brokerage firms covering the stock and discuss the company's prospects with their analysts. Finally, we look at the stock's technical pattern. This process produces candidates with the following characteristics 8 - In industries with positive fundamentals - Are actively followed with good Wall Street Sponsorship - Industry leaders with above average growth prospects - Reasonable valuations relative to their growth rate - Strong balance sheets-low debt relative to industry standards When a stock has met all our requirements it is added to the portfolio. Initial positions range from 2% to 5% and we typically hold about 20 stocks in a portfolio. While portfolios are diversified by company and industry, concentrations of 10% in one security and 30% in one industry are however possible. We believe that exceptional returns can only be achieved by structuring portfolios uniquely from the market indices. Portfolio turnover is minimal, averaging about 25% annually. Stocks are sold for several reasons: cutting positions to reduce excessive concentrations, mergers or divestitures that change the nature of the company, large unexplained absolute and/or relative price declines, macro economic or legislative changes that diminish a company's outlook. 9 Item 9 Disciplinary Information Sander Capital has never had any disciplinary action taken against the firm or individuals who worked for the firm. 10 Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations No one at the firm is registered or registering to be a broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.

The compatibility with the client and the quality of research services provided by a broker are the most important factors in the selection of brokers by the Investment Advisor. The Investment Advisor does not generally utilize any brokers that are not willing to offer substantial volume discounts. The Investment Advisor receives some client referrals from brokers. In some cases, these clients direct the Investment Advisor to effect securities transactions for their account through the broker that referred them. The Investment Advisor honors these requests. There may be potential conflict between Investment Advisor’s interest in receiving future referrals from brokerage firms and clients’ interests in obtaining best execution of their securities transactions. The Investment Advisor makes every effort to negotiate lower commissions and obtain best execution on behalf of clients who have directed brokerage arrangements. 14 Item 13 Review of Accounts Sander Capital Advisors reviews all client accounts on a weekly basis. All equity positions are monitored on a daily basis. The Principle or Investment Advisor Representative does the reviewing. Upon further review there are also quarterly and yearly statement mailed out to the clients. These reports are printed from our computer Advent system and matched against the reports from the third party custodial brokerage where the account is held. 15 Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation We do not have a client referral compensation program in place. Please also see item 12 in regards to broker referrals. 16 Item 15 Custody All client funds are held in a third party custodial account. Most funds are held at large investment banks to show clarity in the investment process. Customers receive quarterly and yearly statements from us. As well customers receive monthly, quarterly and yearly statements from the custodial bank where their account is held. Confirmation of each broker/dealer trade goes to the customer or customer’s direct representative. We request customers to look over all statements and compare statements received from us with statements received from the custodian. If they have any questions we want them to contact us. 17 Item 16 Investment Discretion All accounts at Sander Capital Advisors are discretionary accounts.
